The "USED" Car Price Check Thread. (Online tool : Page 1)

This is a discussion on The "USED" Car Price Check Thread. (Online tool : Page 1) within The Indian Car Scene, part of the BHP India category; This may sound a little crazy, but have you checked with the RTO?
The reason i ask is because when ...

ok, this is a little bland question, but would love some suggestions!
My budget is 3 lacs (around) and want a used hatch (petrol), I dont want it to be too old because I love the all creatures comfort available in recent hatches such as usb/aux in, etc, and good highway manners.
Thanks

Would 3.5 lakhs be a good price to buy a Verna petrol topend 2007 model in chennai?

Hi Rajinibm, 3.5 is a good price. Do you have other details such as, no. of kms driven, which month in 2007, is it VVT/VTVT (since it is 2007, i assume it is non VVT), body condition and also model (sxi.,)

Hi

Just came back after seeing the car.Its being sold through a dealer.Its a Xi version,run 57k kms and this is the second owner selling it.The condition of the car looked good and service records all available.The dealer quoted 3.5 and was willing to sell at 3.25(i would guess he would probably come down to around 3.1).Seeing I would be the third owner I didnt pursue it further.
Also saw a Volswagen POLO run 5k kms and this is also the second owner selling it as he said he is leaving out of country and wanted 5.25 for comfortline petrol.

Are you checking these cars through any dealer, or direct with the owner? I have a feeling that each one of the cars you've seen may be clocked (an extremely common occurrence in Delhi) - the typical odo reading after reset is between 40-60k km. On a recent car hunt with BHPian v&v, we found every single Civic and Accord we saw through a dealer to have been clocked - except a single Skoda vRS (which v&v later bought) - and since the dealer was a close friend, he told me the actual mileage from which the cars had been clocked down.

@SS - The cars are being sold through Mahindra First Choice. I too have an inkling that the cars have definitely been clocked especially the endeavours. Do you know of any reliable dealers (an oxymoron if there was ever one)? Also, won't a cross-reference check with the dealership help figure out whether there is any tampering?

@San - Dad has shot down the safari. Hence, the search for used SUVs. A 4x4 like the endeavour would definitely be preferred but if nothing comes along then guess will have to go in for a new one.

Also, would like to know if going in for a non-tdci endeavour would make sense?

Just an update on my preceding comment. There is a 3.0 Thunder+ 4x4 May 2008 model with full service record. Price quoted is 14L. I could not find the resale price for a 2008 Thunder+ Model. Could someone confirm whether the 3.0 Thunder+ was launched in 2008? Also I feel that the price should be closer to 10-11. What say?
